Wele'r fath gariad rhyfedd, rhad, A roddwyd arnom gan y Tad; Ni bechaduriaid, marwol ryw, Ein galw wnaed yn blant i Dduw. Nid yw beth synn ar hyn o bryd, Os na'n hadweinir gan y byd; Ni 'nabu'r byd 'mo wir Fab Duw, Sef Crist ei hun, peth athrist yw. Ac ni amlygwyd etto'n wir Mor fawr y cawn ni fod cyn hir; Ond pan ddisgyno Crist o'r nef, Cawn fod yn debyg iddo ef. Gwirionedd yw fod pob yr un S' a'r gobaith hwn yn puro'i hun; Oddiwrth bob nwyd a phechod cas, Yn bur fel Crist, trwy rym ei ras. Am hyny os caf, O nefol Dad, Ran fabaidd yn dy gariad rhad; I orphwys doed dy Yspryd di Fel c'lommen ar fy nghalon i. Na ad im' mwyach fel caeth was, Nesâu'n ddigręd at orsedd gras; Rho ffydd i lefain, Abba, Dad, Ac arddel fi fel un o'th had. y cawn ni fod cyn hir :: ryw ddydd y cawn ni fod Gwirionedd yw fod pob yr un :: Ac yn diammeu mae pob un Am hyny os caf :: O! dod i mi

See what wonderful, free love, Is set upon us my the Father; We sinners, of a mortal kind, Called we are children of God. It is not a surprising thing by now, If we are not recognized by the world; The world does not recognize the true Son of God, That is Christ himself, a sad thing it is. And it is not evident truly How great we can get to be before long; But when Christ descends from heaven, We shall get to be like him. Truth it is that every one Who has this hope purifies himself; From every lust and detestable sin, Pure like Christ, through the force of his grace. Therefore if I get, O heavenly Father, A filial part in thy free love; To rest let thy Spirit come Like a dove on my heart. Do not let me any more like a captive servant, Approach unbelieving thy throne of grace; Grant faith to cry, Abba, Father, And own me as one of thy seed. we can get to be before long :: some day we can get to be Truth it is that every one :: And doubtless it is that ever Therefore if I get :: O give to me tr. 2019 Richard B Gillion |
Behold what wondrous grace The Father has bestowed On sinners of a mortal race, To call them sons of God! 'Tis no surprising thing That we should be unknown; The Jewish world knew not their King, God's everlasting Son. Nor doth it yet appear How great we must be made; But when we see our Saviour here, We shall be like our Head. A hope so much divine May trials well endure; May purge our souls from sense and sin, As Christ the Lord is pure. If in my Father’s love I share a filial part, Send down Thy Spirit like a dove, To rest upon my heart. We would no longer lie Like slaves beneath the throne; My faith shall Abba, Father, cry, And thou the kindred own.
